Honorific form

Postby naomitan884875 » June 2nd, 2011 2:23 am

Hello,

I am a beginner and have just started listening to the beginners lessons recently.
I need to learn Korean in order to hold a conversation with my mother in law.
However, when I practise what I have learned with my husband, he said I cannot use those with my mother in law. Very rude he says.
I was telling him that I will ask " Bab mogosoyo" (Have you eaten?) to my mother in law and he said that is not the way to ask her.
Does Koreanclass 101 have lessons on honorific form??

Cheers
Naomi

Hi Naomi,

You have a great name!

I am your fellow student, George - call me Younghoon.

Honorifics are kind of mixed in here at KC101, but they usually let you know if it is casual or polite form.

Here are some very polite examples:

Did you eat? 식사 하셨읍니까? Shiksah hashusumnikka?

Did you eat (rice)? 진지 드셨읍니까? Jinji dushushsumnikka?

Hi Younghoon,

Kamsahamnida!
I will say this to my mother-in-law.
Hopefully Korean class 101 will have lessons on conversations with mother in law or something in the future.
Thanks again Younghoon.
:D

안녕하세요 영훈 님

이제 "읍"을 "습"으로 바꾸시는건... 어떨까요?? 하하 '읍'을 추구하실거라고요?? 하하
답변 감사 감사~ :wink:


진지 드셨습니까? / 진지 드셨어요? / 저녁 드셨어요? / 식사 하셨어요?

:arrow: 어머니 식사 하셨어요? [eomeoni siksa hasyeosseoyo?] is commonly used.

에~이 내게 실수가 많지만 이 번 실수를 인정하고 싶지 않아요. 오자 뿐이었어요. 내가 워낙 시대에 뒤떨어진 사람이라서 "ㅆ:arrow:읍니다"로 썼거든요. 내가 배웠을 땐 그렇게 쓰는 것은 바른 맞춤법이었데 오래된 습관이라 바꾸기 힘들어서 잘 집중하지 않을 때는 자꾸 저렇게 써요.. 배운 다음에 15년 후 바뀐 게 뭐야? :P

고급 레슨은 언제 나와요?

:shock: 내 성격이 아주 엄하고 까다러운 것 같지요? 실은 유머 감각이 좋아요. 8)

어휘 재미:

four together year -사랑해

four with sun - 가랑해

4& - 사랑
